Fire Department

A pair of firefighters from Normal will be recognized for their acts of heroism during a rapid mobile home fire last November.

The union representing firefighters in the Town of Normal is giving up its request to add a fourth fire station. And the town is considering new traffic signal preemption technology that could cut 15-20 seconds off the average drive time to emergencies.

Cooksville Fire Department said the Longbranch Again bar is considered to be close to a total loss.

A blaze caused by an unattended cooking fire has left 20 Bloomington residents displaced, authorities say.

The various projects, including public infrastructure, water, sewer and parks, total $188 million of planned capital spending.

A debate is emerging about the optimum size of the Normal Fire Department and the positioning of fire stations.

A 13-year-old from Normal has died after being critically injured in a house fire a week ago, school officials said Saturday.

The county will take proposals that award a maximum of $50,000 to each fire protection district.

An unknown number of parked vehicles were damaged by a fire Saturday night at the Rivian Automotive manufacturing plant in Normal.

The fire happened under a section of conveyor that moves vehicle chassis down Rivian's assembly line on the western side of the building, said the Normal Fire Department.
